To the partners of Old Boys who attended, and those that provided encouragement to attend, Thank You most sincerely.

P.S   A article appeared in the Land newspaper written by Jacqui Corby dated thur nov 5 2009 on page 40.

Of the 58 boys from that class there are 8 have passed away. (We will remember them.)

 Inveralochy established 1954 with 4 Christian Brothers as teachers and administrators and with 92 students over 5 classes. We all worked at school in practical diversities of  farm life wether we came from towns, cities or from the land. now many years have passed, we all realize that we grew up in a very large family of Inveralochy. With this home page there may be a link to the friends we made Yesteryear (we hope).  The whole name of the school in case people from other places mistake us is: St Micheal’s Agricultural and Trades College.  Inveralochy  Goulburn New South Wales. Australia
